Notice for 2nd/3rd graders

If your child is in 2nd or 3rd grade, you can choose between our Day Camp and Junior Camp.

  • Junior Camp is best for kids who aren’t yet comfortable shooting on a full-height (10′) basket or may find a full day of basketball camp too long.
  • Day Camp is better for more advanced 2nd and 3rd graders, especially those already playing in a league with 10′ hoops.

If you're unsure, Junior Camp is usually the better fit for most 2nd graders!

After working in the NBA, it’s never been more evident: Excel is the best basketball Camp in the country, run by the most passionate coaches in the world. With an emphasis on fundamentals and creating habits, Excel gives you the tools to be successful as a basketball player, and as a person.”
